A yob slapped with an Asbo banning him from posting films of his antisocial antics on YouTube said yesterday: "I'm not Britain's dumbest criminal - I'm just misunderstood."

Andrew Kellett, 23 - who calls himself Mr Chimp - was seen taking part in high speed car chases and boasting of 140mph speeds.

In one of 80 clips, a car drives from a petrol station without paying, in another a wheelie bin is blasted with a firework and a third shows a man taking drugs.

Kellett, of Swarcliffe, Leeds - who denied being the drug taker - moaned: "It's annoying people refer to me as Britain's dumbest criminal. I put these clips on to entertain people. My stuff had 285,000 hits."

Most have now been removed. Kellett's interim Asbo was made into a full order by Leeds magistrates on Tuesday.
